Impact of interest rate cut

The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut has had a profound impact on market sentiment. With this move, investors are turning to other assets instead of gold, which has put pressure on gold prices. The Federal Reserve also indicated that rates could be cut by 0.25% twice in 2025. This is less than the four cuts previously estimated, which caused market volatility.

Advice for investors

Investors should be cautious given the volatility in gold and silver prices at the present time. Especially for those investing in the futures market, it is necessary that they pay attention to market trends and take informed decisions.

Conclusion

This fall in gold prices is a result of economic activities in the global and domestic markets. Due to the reduction in interest rates, there is an imbalance in the demand and supply of gold. Whether prices will stabilize or fall further in the coming days will depend on the future policies of the Federal Reserve and the market response.
